Jack Greenberg '14 Kicks Off Democracy Speaker Series

Alum Jack Greenberg ‘14 spoke to the Hopkins community at an all-school assembly on Friday, September 20, about civic engagement and how to stay engaged in politics even at a young age. Greenberg is a doctoral candidate in political science at Yale University who is currently researching the topic of “presidential prioritization,” the process by which presidents and their teams determine the domestic policy issues on which they will focus at the start of their administrations.

Following the assembly presentation, Greenberg spent the morning attending classes, where he continued discussions with students and faculty. 

Greenberg’s presentation was part of the School’s 2024-2025 Speaker Series which focuses on the theme of democracy. The series will feature a range of knowledgeable speakers who will offer insights on democracy both in the U.S. and abroad. Through this program, Hopkins aims to deepen students’ knowledge of civics – the mechanics of democracy – and engage in civil discourse. The goal is to educate students on matters of citizenship and prepare them to be critical thinkers.
